US Christian theologian: 9/11 was a ‘staged event’

Last month, speaking at the Kuala Lupur 9/11 and the Ecological Crisisforum, renowned American Christian theologian scholar and author professor David Ray Griffin claimed that September 11, 2001 attacks were not the work of the so-called “Muslim terrorists” but was a “staged event”. He also said that the so-called “hijackers” had minimum competence to fly single-engine aircraft, let alone be able to handle commercial jets.

“The twin towers were built to sustain impacts similar to large planes striking them. In other words, claims about impacting planes and resulting fires being responsible are scientifically impossible,” said David Ray Griffin.

Jan Frel posted an article at the AlterNet website (July 18, 2012) in which David Ray Griffin had claimed that his work with the 9/11 Truth Movement is motivated by his Christian faith.

“At first glance it may seem strange, but the task of a theologian is to look at the world from what we would imagine the divine perspective, which would care about the good of the whole and would love all the parts. So 9/11, if it was brought about by forces within our own government for imperial reasons, is antithetical to the general good. In proclaiming the coming kingdom of God…Jesus was proclaiming an end to the present subservience of the people of Israel to the Roman empire and its local collaborators, said Griffin, the co-script-writer of documentary ‘9/11 Loose Change’. Watch the documentary below.

In 2003 Griffin began to believe that the official 9/11 account was false. Griffin has argued not only that the government’s account of 9/11 is false, but that it was “a rather obviously a false-flag attack. A false-flag attack occurs when some country, which wants to attack another one, orchestrates an attack on its own people while planting evidence to implicate that other country.” The Israeli Mossad has been carrying out such false flag operations to implicate Muslims for the last six decades.

In November 2008, Abraham Foxman, the head of Israel lobby ADL had criticized David Ray Griffin, Benjamin Fulford and Japanese MP Yukihisa Fujita for promoting anti-Semitic views by claiming that 9/11 was the work of Israel and Zionist Jews in Bush administration at Tokyo 9/11 conference.

“The main reason Americans evidently reject the idea that 9/11 was an inside job, in spite of all the evidence, is the belief that “our leaders simply would not do something so evil.” I have long been aware that seemingly decent human beings are capable of terrible evil, and my study of American history shows that our leaders are no exception,” says Griffin.
